Future Global Sports is happy to announce that Finlay Dorrell has appointed us to represent him on an exclusive basis.
Dorrell, 18, is an emerging young talent in non-league that we feel is a rising star, a diligent, hard-working instinctive striker with a sharp eye for goal and a killer instinct when it comes to finishing.
Born in Essex, Finlay emerged through the ranks at Bowers and Pitsea and Barking Abbey before starting his senior career in men’s football as a 16-year-old at Springfield FC. From there, Dorrell’s prolific goalscoring feats saw him quickly attract attention from higher division clubs. He signed for Romford FC in 2023 whilst still playing for Barking Abbey at youth level.
Dorrell was part of a memorable Barking youth team that knocked MK Dons and Dagenham and Redbridge out of the FA Youth Cup in 2023/24, before narrowly losing after extra time to Championship academy Millwall at the Den. Finlay scored a hat-trick against Dagenham in a 9-1 win and scored a memorable equalising goal at the Den against Millwall to take the game to extra time.
As a 17-year-old, Finlay not only bagged 20 goals in 39 appearances for Romford but was also part of an historic achievement as the club won the FA Vase for the first time in its near 150-year history. Dorrell started in the final at 17 as Romford won 3-0 against Great Wakering Rovers. Meanwhile, the teenager continued to play schools football with Barking Abbey and was the team’s top goalscorer and part of a treble winning side that won the league, national cup and Essex FA Schools Cup in 2023/24.
A move to Canvey Island followed at the start of the 2024/25 season and Dorrell won yet more silverware this season as Canvey Island won the BBC Essex Senior Cup beating Hornchurch on penalties at Colchester United’s stadium this week, after a 1-1 draw. So far he has four goals for the Gulls.
At Future Global Sports we feel Finlay’s hunger, desire, work rate and eye for goal make him a player to watch. He has a maturity beyond his years for one so young, a proven goalscoring record and continues to develop his game. We are excited to work with Finlay to offer our guidance and knowledge of football to help him realise his full potential in the years to come.
Welcome to FGS, Finlay.
Future is Dorrell!
